Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation

There have been very few foundations that I have found over the years that are suitable for my …
Revlon palette in Coffee Beans
Revlon makes everything, doesn’t it? Well, at least some of them are worth buying. This one, that I just got today at Rite Aid, is definitely worth it. I got this on sale! So it was only about $4 for four shadows. That is $1 per shadow! That is …

Bodycology Pomegranate Bath Bombs

Loreal Haircare Unkempt Out of Bed Texturizer
Usually when we style out hair, we often invoke the help of hair gels or setting lotion. The problem with these products is the image it gives to your hair when you apply it. More often than not, it gives you a fresh look but ultimately it hardens the …

CoverGirl Cheekers Blush Brick Rose
I have to admit that I’m sometimes a bit of a snob when it comes to cosmetics, and I’ve always considered Cover Girl to be the “cheap persons” cosmetic product. It was the drug store make-up that anyone could afford. That’s not to say the products themselves are cheap, …

That incentive was tempting enough …

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Lip Pencil

Watsons Foot Scrub
I hate having thick calloused and rough feet. I have thick callouses and super rough spots on my feet soles. Because of it, I don’t feel like a girl. It makes me feel like a man. As a girl, I think I should be more vain even when it …

The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighting powder
